Xia Muqing asked, âHow can we work together?â
Xia Chuxing smirked and said, âWe have a common enemy.â
Without waiting for her to speak, she continued, âThe mother and daughter of the Xia family want to bring you down, and I can work with you.â
Xia Muqing wasnât fooled by her offer and quipped, âWe seem to be enemies too.â
Xia Chuxing didnât deny and admitted, âYes, I do hate you, but I hate that mother and daughter more than you do. Weâre already enemies to begin with. I admit that I wasnât capable enough and I fell for your schemes. But what about that mother and daughter? Iâm their family. How could they treat me like this!â
The more she spoke, the more agitated she became. At this moment, she resembled that Xia Chuxing from back then.
Xia Muqing smiled and said, âYou came to look for me just to tell me this? I donât think itâs necessary. They arenât qualified to deal with me.â
With that, she left.
After she left, Xia Chuxingâs expression changed. She was no longer angry and instead, she looked calm.
A young maid walked in and asked, âPrincess Consort, Xia Muqing is not easy to deal with.â
Xia Chuxing smirked wryly, âYeah. Letâs wait to see both sides suffer losses. When the time comes, itâll be our turn to strike.â
The young maid handed over the letter in her hand and said, âPrincess Consort, this is a letter from your mother.â
Xia Chuxing opened it and smiled mockingly. âThat woman still hasnât forgotten to use me.â
Her eyes darted around and she said, âGo and hand this to Xia Muqing. Say that itâs a token of my sincerity.â
The girl took the letter from her and nodded before walking out.
Before Xia Muqing could walk out of Shining Fortune Restaurant, she bumped into Xia Churan. As the main character in the rumors, she attracted everyoneâs attention the moment she appeared.
âSister,â she shouted.
No one noticed Xia Muqing initially. But after she shouted, everyone looked at her.
With both parties involved in the rumors present, the number of onlookers increased.
Xia Muqing nodded and wanted to leave.
Xia Churan grabbed her and cried, âI have no intention of snatching King Zhennan away from you.â
Her confession jolted the crowd who were initially disappointed that Xia Muqing was preparing to leave. It seemed that the two daughters of the Xia family werenât on good terms. They wondered who King Zhennan would like more?
Xia Muqing frowned and asked, âWhat do you mean?â
Xia Churan didnât answer her. Instead, she cried, âI didnât want to steal His Highness from youââ¬Â¦ He did such a thing⦠I really donât have the dignity to live anymore.â
Her accusation was vague, and the confused crowd began to wonder what King Zhennan had done.
Xia Muqing wasnât in a hurry to leave now. She crossed her arms and watched her performance.
Xia Chuxing, who was standing on the second floor, also looked at Xia Churan, who was crying in the crowd. She was aware that her sister was a good actress. However, she didnât expect her sister to use this tactic on her.
Hence, what she had just told Xia Muqing was true. Compared to her hatred towards Xia Muqing, she hated the mother-daughter pair even more.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Xia Churan continued, âSister, donât be angry. I donât dare to steal His Highness from you.â
She kept repeating this sentence, making everyone feel that Xia Muqing didnât want her to marry King Zhennan. Everyone assumed that Xia Muqing had done something.
Xia Muqing laughed. âIf you want to marry King Zhennan, you should look for Ye Qingxuan. Why are you looking for me?â
Hearing her call King Zhennanâs name, jealousy and hatred flashed across Xia Churanâs eyes. When she looked up, her face was delicate and teary. âSister, wasnât it your wish that King Zhennan wouldnât dare to see me?â
Today, she wanted to make use of the public opinion to force Xia Muqing to bring her into the Kingâs royal residence. Since she couldnât meet King Zhennan, she would use Xia Muqing.. This was the second plan she and Ruan Yu had come up with.
